But short films are not inferior, just different. I think the short gives a freedom to film-makers. What's appealing is that you don't have as much responsibility for storytelling and plot. They can be more like a portrait, or a poem.

I'm very happy with the success of short films. In fact, for me, the short films make more money than the features.

I love doing short films because they're much more intimate and there's far less waiting around than on the bigger films.

A big budget studio film is slower, they've got so much to create around you. Everything is more complicated.

Films have become shorter in length, jumpier in style, and simpler in story so that they can be more easily transferred to once under-exploited international markets.

It seems that the small movies are a little more risky and cutting-edge. You've got your big commerce and you've got your small films that you're more passionate about.

There are many applications for which film is going to be better, for a very long time.

Short films don't go too far.

The whole reason one wants to do lower budget films is because the lower the budget, the bigger the ideas, the bigger the themes, the more interesting the art.

I've learned that I really want to shoot short films on a short schedule. There can be very good films that run 110 minutes, but 90 minutes is beautiful.
